This environment variable had an incorrect priority on the configuration
system. The expectation was higher priority than most other layers.
Now the only layer that has higher priority is the environment
variables.
FEXCore has no need to understand how to load these layers. Which
requires json parsing.
Move these to the frontend which is already doing the configuration
layer setup and initialization tasks anyway.
Means FEXCore itself no longer needs to link to tiny-json which can be
left to the frontend.
This lets all the path generation for the config to be in the frontend.
This then informs FEXCore where things should live.
This is for llvm-mingw. While paths aren't quite generated correctly,
this gets the code closer to compiling.
Fixes#2136
This is a fairly tricky edge case to support with FEX.
If execveat is used with AT_EMPTY_PATH then the application can pass an
FD to execve instead of a filename. This includes FDs that have been
deleted from the disk so the child process can't open it by filename
anymore.
To work around this limitation, we need to pass the FD to the new FEX
process and open it directly, similar to how binfmt_misc works with FDs.
The FD will get passed through environment variables, which the new
process will check for and then remove the variable from the
environment.
Lots of prickly edge cases to support here.
Without binfmt_misc:
- Passes the FD to FEXLoader directly.
- Requires duplicating the FD if it has O_CLOEXEC on the FD.
With binfmt_misc:
- Shebang file, pass directly to FEXLoader, just like without binfmt.
- x86 ELF Files, rely on the kernel's binfmt_misc support here.
- Unsupported ELF files, let kernel handle it through binfmt_misc
Argument handling:
- The application can pass in no arguments.
- Means our application configurations were failing to find a config
- Also various checks in the frontend were failing.
- If opened through an FD, find the symlink for that FD for the
application configuration instead.
Side note:
Fixed a performance issue in execve where when we were checking for file
format support. Either ELF or Shebang files, we were reading the /whole/
file upfront. We only need to read a header worth of ELF files, and only
257 bytes if it is potentially a shebang file. Should dramatically
reduce some application's execve times.
While we were getting the application name for the application layer, we
were failing to store the filename for telemetry.
Save the filename we get for application layers and store it for the
telemetry file.
Otherwise these were just alway ending up as wine or wine-preloader.
This isn't quite a 100% clean sweep of IWYU.
There are some false positives where clang fails.
Additionally there are still a few missed in the frontend side of things
that I didn't get to
Puts the visibility of the main layer, application layers, and
environment in to FEXCore instead of FEX.
These layers aren't specific to FEX/FEXLoader and should live in
FEXCore.
Only the EmptyMapper remains in FEX, which should eventually move over
to FEXConfig since that is the only user.
Instead of having the configuration being loaded and stored in to a
frontend system. First moves the backing store of the configuration in
to FEXCore.
Each layer that is constructed then loads its particular configuration.
After the layers are loaded, then a meta layer is constructed that
merges the layers flat.
This means we will no longer hit the problem where a configuration is
stored in the "main" configuration file, then environment and arguments
passed manage to overwrite it.
The order of the layers going from inner most layer to outer most, with
outermost overwriting previous layer configurations is as follows:
Main < Global application < Local application < Arguments < Environment
One step that needs to be changed in the future is that FEXCore can then
just load its configuration from the layers directly since the data is
in FEXCore now. This will be reserved for a future change so we are less
disruptive.
